This study demonstrates that reading the Gospel of John with a "theotic" lens (i.e., with a hermeneutic informed by the assumptions and concerns of the Christian doctrine of theosis) proves to be illuminating in light of various claims that are commonly advanced in Johannine scholarship. According to John's Gospel, the human predicament is not merely "unbelief" or a lack of mental perception, and Jesus's mission consists not merely of "revelation" and/or a purely forensic "atonement." Rather, Jesus is for John the one who makes true and everlasting life an accomplished fact for human beings, and in doing so Jesus reveals the true nature of the predicament from which he saves. The human predicament, according to John, is a way or manner of life, a mode of existence that is not wholly rectified or resolved in the moment one comes to believe in Jesus. The interrelated matters in John's Gospel of "the darkness," ignorance of God, illness, disability, sin, and death collectively make clear that both the plight and its solution pertain for John to what human beings do and how they live in relationship with God and one another. Salvation in the Gospel of John concerns "ethics" and the quality or condition of human corporeality. The matters of sin and death in particular also make clear that, according to John, the human predicament is a reality that in various ways continues to influence believers as they both are and become children of God. Salvation for John, then, consists of far more than the emergence of belief in a moment of decision.
